Revolutionizing Solar PV Design: The Integration of Scanifly and Pegasus
In an era where renewable energy solutions are becoming increasingly vital, the integration of Scanifly and Pegasus presents a groundbreaking advancement in the solar industry. This collaboration merges drone technology with innovative racking systems, creating a seamless workflow that enhances efficiency from design to installation.
The Game-Changer in Solar Design
Scanifly, recognized as the leader in photovoltaic (PV) design and operations software, has united its strengths with Pegasus, a prominent California-based company specializing in rooftop mounting systems. Their recent collaboration automates the transfer of design data directly from Scanifly into the Pegasus Design Tool. This key feature eliminates the burden of switching platforms and reduces redundant tasks for solar contractors.
As Jason Steinberg, CEO of Scanifly, emphasized, "Accurate racking systems demand precise roof measurements, exact panel placements, and real-time onsite structural insights." This need has been effectively addressed through the integration of drone-based photorealistic design outputs that provide the necessary data for accurate installations.
Enhancing Efficiency and Accuracy
The integration not only promises to streamline design processes but also ensures the accuracy of materials utilized on-site. By connecting Scanifly's design environment with Pegasus's capabilities, solar contractors can now choose optimal mounting equipment and generate a comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOM) in a unified workflow. This enhanced functionality results in significant time savings, estimated at 1-3 hours per project.
Key Benefits Include:
- - Unified Workflow: Integrating design, racking, and BOM processes into one seamless operation.
- - Time Efficiency: Reducing project timelines by eliminating the need to recreate designs in multiple systems.
- - Material Accuracy: Ensuring the right equipment and inventory are ready for installation day, which prevents costly delays and shortages.
Impact on Contractors' Workflows
With more precise data input, the integration enables contractors to select the appropriate mounting solutions tailored to actual roofing conditions. The collaboration utilizes Scanifly's inch-level accurate 3D models alongside Pegasus' expertly engineered equipment. Solutions such as InstaFlash2 for flashing tasks can now be instantly specified based on authentic roof conditions, guaranteeing that what is planned in the design translates effectively into real-world applications.
Andrew Jones, VP of Sales at Pegasus, highlights the importance of this integration: "This links two essential components of the installation process—meticulous roof measurement and suitable mounting specifications. We ensure that the designs not only look right but perform exceptionally on the job."
A Shared Vision for Quality
Both Scanifly and Pegasus cater to high-quality contractors in the solar industry. Companies like SunnyMac, Freedom Solar, and Good Faith Energy stand to benefit significantly from this integration. By employing cutting-edge technology that improves installation methods and creates a better workflow, the partners are focused on making solar solutions easier, faster, and more efficient.
